User suggested Contest!

With recent questions about the 30 hubs in 30 days contest I thought instead of asking the staff to start up a different contest to improve hub quality I would just go on ahead and challenge you guys as a simple user.

I would suggest its an "improve the quality of your hubs challenge", you can come along and tell us each time you choose a hub that is not performing as you had expected when you wrote it, what you think it needs, then report back when you hit on the right strategy to improve its traffic, click throughs, or hub score.

If you start to struggle you can always pop by and ask for advice too .

Just thought of my first hub to go out and promote. It will be my newest page<URL snipped - no self-promotion in the Forums>My first strategy is to find a video on utube demonstrating a few basics of wood carving, the sort of thing a person could want to go try right away. I think the summary text could probably do with a look, see if it could be more tantalizing . Then maybe a few more back links from how to wood carve sites n blogs, valuable comments on their sites seem to be good for everybody all round so a fun way to back link.

I will check back in when I have implimented these strategys and let ya know if it worked! Oh btw its current hub score is 72, so a little way to go really

Hello, Everyone!I am working on proposing a new challenge (which may actually eventually need to be posted in a different forum category, although I'm not sure), and I would like suggestions for a title for it.The idea so far is that it would be geared towards good hubbers who are not seeing the...

What is the meaning behind your user name?Some people ask me about mine, MrsMamaCow. Mrs is because I'm married. Mama Cow because I have a pet pot belly pig and when she was a baby she used to sleep in the house. When she got too big for this, we made her an area outside but thought she'd be lonely...

Since many of us have committed to the process of more frequent HubHopping, in an attempt to help filter out the bad and promote the good, I want to toss out a suggestion that I believe will make HubHopping even more useful.That is, in addition to the current buttons (Up / Down / Flag / Awesome /...
